What Digginginsouth is doing on Fold3…

Part or all of these files are actually about William Marion Groover Jr. who happened to be in Company F of the 22nd Battalion. At some point someone accidentally listed his middle name as "F" instead of just the company.
He went to Fort McAllister in Bryan Co. below Savannah. He joined the Hardwick Mounted Rifles formed by J.L. McAllister and was placed in Co. B. Hines was also part of this
group. They were consolidated in the the 7th Ga Cavalry in Feb 1864 with some other battalions and companies.
After being transferred to the 22nd Battalion, they were sent to northern Virginia. By the fall of 1864 he was either in a prison or hospital and the War Dept lost track of him. (mentioned by his widow). He later did return home though.

To add...
When he joined at Fort McAllister, he was placed in the Hardwick Mounted Rifles created by J.L. McAllister. They were divided into two companies around Sept 1863 when William joined. He was in B Company. Then in Feb 1864 his company was consolidated into the 7th Ga Cavalry and he was in Co. H. As mentioned above, he was shortly therafter transferred to 22nd Battalion Co. F where he was
sent to norther Virginia. The War Dept lost track of him after Oct 1864 but I believe he was in prison or a hospital in Virginia by that time.
